The exhibition Black White Grey is, in part, made possible by a partnership between PIT Safety Museum, the Police Academy and the Anne Frank Foundation. The Second World War and the period of occupation exposed dilemmas for individual policemen, which forced them to make their own choices. This period in history is therefore extremely suitable for viewing contemporary dilemmas from a different perspective.
